PACE
OF PLAY
We want you to enjoy your round but for the sake of
everyone’s enjoyment we need you to please stay in position. Slow play penalties
will be assessed. Our goal is to play our round of golf in 4:30, and that means
we need to play Ready Golf. Ready Golf is simply defined as HIT WHEN READY. If
you reach your ball and are ready to hit, when other members of your group are
not yet prepared, then go ahead and hit. Keep in mind that in stroke play
competition there are no penalties under the Rules of Golf for playing out of
turn.
Additional Pace of Play Rules/Guidelines
You have only 3 minutes to look for your
ball.
If you cannot find it use the local native area rule.
·
Players can card a maximum of triple
bogey on any one hole. After that the player must pick up for the hole. There
is no limit to the number of triple bogies that can be carded in a round.
· Rangers and Tour Directors will warn slow
groups.
· The penalty for slow play is 2 stokes for
the entire group. All group members are expected to recognize the group is slow
and take action to speed the group up.
· Repeat offenders will be asked to leave
the Tour for the sake of all other players.
Our pace of play policy is very simple -
KEEP UP WITH THE
GROUP IN FRONT OF YOU!
Remember your correct position on the course is immediately
behind the group in front of you, not immediately in front of the group behind
you.
How do you know if you are out of position?
- If you cannot
see the group in front of you, YOU ARE OUT OF POSITION
- If you reach
the teeing ground of a par 3 & the group ahead of you has cleared the
next tee, YOU ARE OUT OF POSITION
- If you reach
the teeing ground of a par 4 & the putting green is clear, YOU
ARE OUT OF POSITION
- If you reach
the teeing ground of a par 5 & the group ahead of you is on that
putting green, YOU ARE OUT OF POSITION
